No bad days on the water

Guaranteed viewing of whales. Unfortunately we didn’t see orcas so the bucket list remains unmarked. But we saw many gray whales, sea lions, seals, bald eagles and other sea birds. The onboard naturalist knows her stuff and explained things in a fun and easy to understand way. Decent food and drink options at decent prices. I think it’s a very good value. The boat is clean and comfortable. Very efficient and friendly operation. Great experience for all ages. I want to go again!

Manage expectations.

Manage your expectations. Did see grey whales from a distance. Had hoped to see orca whales. Alissa did a good job sharing wildlife information.👍

Convenient departure and arrival locations. Nice staff. The inside tip is if you book a regular seat, but you want to change to one with a better view or something, you can ask the staff once you've boarded to shift to a seat that's unoccupied.

Bucket list

Such an Awesome crew! We saw a pod of 5 Orcas , momma and her 4 calf’s and then 6 greys! Such a wonderful atmosphere, crew was knowledgeable and always kept the animals wellbeing first. Cabin was comfortable and easy to move around including outside. Yummy drinks and food too! I would highly recommend. Easy access just down the street from the cruise port.

Do not miss this tour in Seattle

Very well organised tour with a great guide, Alison and the crew. She told many interesting fact about the wildlife, particularly about whales. We were lucky to follow an Orca group and watch the Humpback whale calf presenting a real show for us. It was wonderful experience.

Graycful Whale Watching

My 8 yr old son and I went from Edmonds on a rather wet week day in early April to spot some Gray whales. And we were so privileged to spot a couple. Disappointed not to see orcas that day, but nature is unpredictable. We took a zip car from downtown Seattle as 25-30 mins away. Easy parking, comfortable vessel, great lunch and very welcoming and knowledgeable staff, with good on board resources to identify the whales. Highly recommend this trip. To PSE - I wish the mug for life was a travel mug, so I could share the experience with all.

Let’s See Orca Whales!

The tour was relaxing and exciting at the same time! All of our tour guides were very knowledgeable about the whales and the area! The food on the boat was good! I would go on this tour again!
